On today’s Internet 2.0 there are all sorts of data feeds available for consumption. From APIs to RSS feeds, it seems like nearly every site has a machine-readable output. There are many reasons why you’d want to collect this information, which I won’t go in to, so in this post I’m going to walk you [...]

Google Calendar
Interesting: http://calendar.google.com/ Arbitrary Google subs don’t usually resolve, so this was set up for a reason. Think about it: Google have an E-mail client. What’s the most popular business E-mail client? And what does it also do? So I’m thinking: Google Groupware? Sounds like a great idea for me. After all, calendar integration is the [...]
Site Explorer – a bit bust?
While “playing” with Yahoo Site Explorer today, we came across a little bug. We typed in the address of one of our sites, and got the following (beer-vision applied): Notice pages vs inlinks – Now, we know that the number of inlinks includes internal links from the site, so what’s wrong with this picture?

Who wants a post?
Well in absense of Dave posting anything on here, I thought I’d mention something about what I’ve been up to on the ground. In reality nothing much interesting has been going on. I’ve been doing some websites for clients, very boring. One of them is particularly encroaching on my mammaries. I have a new server, [...]

It takes a keyword, then grabs google’s suggestions, and then… does it again. Apparently, that can be useful. The rest of the tools can be found here. Comments about presentation will [...]
Google Suggest slightly broken?
While optimising some GooSug code earlier today (as you do), I inevitably typed in “foo” (as you do), and came across an interesting little bug. Example: Go to Google Suggest and type in “foo”. The bottom result is “foodnetwork.com”, and claims to return 1 result. Which it does. Go down to it, and press right. [...]
Now then
Hm, I’ve got my own section. Pff… Well I’m the PHP programmer at DaveN Industries. I don’t think this section will last long, I’m sure the novelty will wear off soon. What am I up to at the moment? Well I’m writing a new object-orientated shopping cart blah for use in house. This will let [...]
